The wind dies down around them; instead, it shifts around them in slow wave-like movements. Cassiopeia releases Nic’s shirt after he lays down with her on top of him. She moves her hands into Nic’s hair instead, running light fingers through it. The smell of his shampoo greets her, greeting her as one of her new favourite scents.

A comfortable silence fills the living room, where Avery and Kimiko continue to watch the fight. Avery eventually relaxes, feeling more settled with having the fox in his arms. [i]Just for today,[/i] he told himself. He could handle it for the rest of the day.

Avery noticed Kimiko sinking into him more and more. He isn’t concerned by it until he hears the tell-tale deep breathing of sleep. Avery glances down to see Kimiko’s head listing to the side. He chuckles despite himself and shakes his head. From yelling at each other this morning to Kimiko falling asleep beside him. Avery wouldn’t have believed it possible.

He continues to watch the fight by himself, making sure not to make any sudden movements that would disturb Kimiko. Eventually, Avery risked moving Kimiko. He didn’t think she would want Caden and Nero to see them like this. Avery didn’t want his boss and boss’ partner to see them like this. So, Avery carefully slid an arm under Kimiko’s legs, and lifted her so that he was cradling Kimiko. He then walked down the hallway to her bedroom, opened the door and laid her down on the bed.

Avery pulled the comforter close and brushed back Kimiko’s hair to prevent it from tickling her face and waking her. He stood up, watching her sleep for a moment before he sighed and left.

Instead of returning to the living room, Avery went down to the kitchens to see if he could do anything to help out. He didn’t want Kimiko to come looking for him because he knew if they were alone again, he’d have a hard time not kissing her.
